Hey not sure where to post this question but i'll try here. After I beat black 2 can I restart and play through on the challenge mode setting from the start? Or is challenge mode only for post game fights? I don't have anyone to do in person challenge mode transfer.

CM is only available in Black 2 as postgame unless you have another copy of Black 2 as you lose the key when you start a new game. You could also get a copy of White 2 and play CM on it by sending over the key, but for it to be on Black 2 from the start, you will need another copy.

In my opinion (and a lot of others', as I've noticed), BW had the better story, and B2W2 had the better everything else.

i will echo everyone else.
although i expected a bit more bang for the buck with BW2

Black 1, though it's mostly the story. Black 2 patched up a lot of things that Black 1 didn't have (lack of side stuff, though that's expected from the first game, lack of 3-on-3 battles, boring region), but I enjoyed Black 1 a lot more. Maybe I just set my standards a lot higher.

Typically I prefer the special edition versions to the first installments, due to the massive addition of features they omit from the initial releases. In 5th-gen's case, the special edition versions are also sequels, which expand upon the story told in part one. As far as story is concerned, I think BW1 and BW2 both had great plots, but for me, the deciding factor has gotta be the shiny new features. Even though I did indeed get all four games, I really do enjoy BW2 much more than I do BW1.

This 1 is a bit conflicted for me. In terms of actual story and presentation I prefer the original B/W. Its probably the 1st Pokemon where I actually felt invested in a story. Though in terms of content obviously B/W2 got this 1 beat.

BW1 and BW2 are both very excellent games with great storylines and postgame adventures and such. I'll have to give the edge to BW2, because it introduced new areas (Reversal Moountain, Castelia Sewers, new towns/cities.) Also, they gave you the ability to catch the legendaries from other reigons (Lati0s/@s, Heatran, tell me if I missed any) Also, what was amazing is being able to fuse Kyurem with Reshiram/Zekrom to get Kyu-B/W. Also, what I think was the best of BW2 is the Habitat List, which makes it easier to fill up your Pokedex based on what Pokemon were in which areas. All in all, BW2 were amazing games, and I hope Gen IV doesn't disappoint us.

It's unfair to compare bw to bw2. BW2 is good only when taken in conjunction with BW. It fixed a lot of probs that unova had in BW. But, on it's own, it's OK. But, when played after bw, it is really good.
